A report from the Washington Examiner says Trump representatives
told Senate Republicans that the campaign "won't have much
money to spend fending off attacks from Hillary Clinton" before
the Republican National Convention in July.

Trump officially secured the party's nomination for president
last week. Before that, the real-estate mogul's campaign said it
would partner with the Republican National Committee to raise as
much as $1 billion for the general election.

According to the Examiner report published Friday, the notice
from Trump's campaign came after his senior adviser, Paul
Manafort, met with some of the party's leaders last week.

"They know that they're not going to have enough money to be on
TV in June and probably most of July until they actually accept
the nomination and get RNC funds," the Examiner reported, citing
an unnamed GOP source familiar with Manafort's comments.
